“Every member of a family is a person with the infinite possibilities, the dignity, and the rights and duties of a person. The very youngest person and the very oldest live, not by meals alone, but by their admirations, their hopes, their loves, by the thoughts of truth and beauty and justice which fill their minds. … In our lifetime much has been done to make people more comfortable, still more is being planned. People do not seem to be much the wiser for it (more loving, more thoughtful or more true). In remembering to care for their bodies, do we forget to feed their minds? If so, let each family be the one place where there is no starvation of body or mind.” (Essex Cholmondeley, Parents Are Peacemakers)
